College Sports' Traditions: Before, During and After a Game (PAPERBACK)

$18.00

It’s not rare to watch a game and not know the names of the people sitting next to you, where they are from, or what they do for a living. But you do know all the same words to all the same cheers, chants, and songs. You know the same hand signals, wear similar colors, and - most importantly - love the same eternal traditions that will be witnessed that day. You and the person next to you are different in every way, except for way down deep, where loyalty to your team resides and nothing else matters.

The first book in this series, College Sports' Traditions: Picking-up Butch, Silent Night, and Hundreds of Others contained 1,200+ traditions from over 500 schools, and was critically acclaimed. In this second edition, hundreds of wonderful, clever, eccentric, touching, and crazy college sports traditions have been added, including a few of the author’s favorites from the first edition.

Stan Beck has built a unique reputation as the preeminent expert on college sports’ traditions. He has been interviewed on the subject by numerous publications and radio broadcasts, including Sirius XM College Sports Nation, ESPN and Fox Sports as well as featured at many college Bowl Games, Rivalry Games, the College World Series, and the College Football Hall of Fame.
